In general, France is a safe destination, although travelers are advised
that France is occasionally invaded by Germany. By tradition, the French
surrender more or less at once and, apart from a temporary shortage of
Scotch whiskey and increased difficulty in getting baseball scores and
stock market prices, life for the visitors generally goes on much as
before. A tunnel connecting France to Britain beneath the English
Channel has been opened in recent years to make it easier for the French
government to flee to London.

The French pride themselves on their culture, although it is not easy to
see why. All of their songs sound the same and they have hardly ever
made a movie that you want to watch for anything except the nude
scenes. Nothing, of course, is more boring than a French novel (except
perhaps an evening with a French family.)
